Look what Dragon can do!
This is the foundation for a competition obedience exercise in which the dog has to retrieve one metal article among five identical ones. The correct one is the one with the owner's fresh scent on it. We are using metal canning rings. Dragon will bring back the correct one nearly 100% of the time. The "tasting" and picking up of the incorrect articles is quickly fading as he figures out the fastest way to identify the correct one.
This is my first time teaching this exercise and it's thrilling to see him do it so happily and reliably!
That's great! I love that there's no second guessing of himself when he reaches the right one!
